Opposition to corporate monopolies
AI ownership should be decentralised and democratised
Precautionary principle
No deployment without proven safety; corporations must bear the burden of proof.
Collective ownership and democratic oversight
Transparency and accountability must replace opaque corporate control
Community empowerment
Affected populations must shape AI development and deployment
Algorithmic justice and equity
Systems must be designed to eliminate bias and inequality
